Definitions

  • the present invention relates to multirate coding and detection in a multiple access mobile communication system in which a transmitter selects the data transfer rate, and forwards information on the selected data transfer rate to a receiver which adapts reception to the selected rate.
  • user information i.e. speech and data
  • the transfer rate is typically chosen at the beginning of a call and maintained unchanged for the duration of the call.
  • more flexibility is required at the radio interface for embodying various kinds of services.
  • One of the consequences of this requirement for flexibility is a rapidly varying transfer rate during a call.
  • a digital mobile communication system for example, in which user information is packed into transmission frames (10 ms of duration, for example), each frame may have a transfer rate independent of the previous or the subsequent transfer frame.
  • a base stations seeks to adjust the transmit power of mobile stations so that all the signals transmitted by the mobile stations are received by the base station at the same nominal power level.
  • the aim is to average the energy of a symbol transmitted over the radio path, and therefore the transmit power is also proportional to rate. Due to this, when employing closed loop power control, the receiver needs to know the current transfer rate without delay.
  • a known solution is to employ on the radio path a separate signalling channel through which information on the transfer rate is conveyed from the transmitter to the receiver.
  • the closed loop power control can be carried out with such a signalling channel. Separate signalling, however, causes delay in the practical implementation.
  • the message indicating transfer rate is protected against interference and interleaved in the transmitter.
  • the most efficient interleaving lasts for the length of the transfer frame.
  • deinterleving and error correction are carried out in the receiver. As a consequence the received user signal has to be buffered until these reception operations are completed.
  • activating the closed loop power control is delayed.
  • the delay caused by detecting the transfer rate employed also concerns the interfering signals (other users).
  • the propagation delay in an asynchronous spread spectrum mobile communication system, the propagation delay, with the above assumptions, will be twice the interleaving depth + signal processing delay.
  • US-A-5 341 396 disloses a multirate CDMA system in which the number of chips per bit of the information bearing signal is varied as a function of the data rate of the information signal.
  • WO-A-96/24206 published 8 August 1996, discloses a CDMA method in which each system user may have different parameters of the transmission connection according to the requirements set for the connection.
  • EP-A-0 712 219 published 15 May 1996, discloses a variable transmission bit rate discrimination method and apparatus.
  • the invention also relates to an equipment according to claim 6.
  • the invention relates to an equipment according to claim 8.
  • the varying transfer rate is coded at the transmitting end by using a signal waveform which is selected according to the transfer rate employed at any one time.
  • the waveform of the received signal is recognized, and, consequently, the transfer rate employed by the transmitter will be recognized.
  • the hopping pattern may be selected in the transmitter according to the transfer rate.
  • the carrier waves used, or combinations thereof may be selected according to the transfer rate. In addition, these methods can be combined.
  • One of such methods differing from the multiple access methods is to shape the user information with Rademacher waveforms or similar waveforms that have adequate cross correlation characteristics. This is an economical method as far as the implementation of a receiver, particularly in a CDMA mobile communication system, is concerned.
  • the signal waveforms and, consequently, the transfer rate can be detected in the receiver after reception of only a few symbols (speech or data).
  • the detection of a user signal can thus be started in the receiver after a relatively short delay without having to wait, e.g., for the end of the frame and deinterleaving.
  • the most probable transfer rate may be estimated by following the maximum principle, for example, until it is possible to make a reliable final decision on the transfer rate.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to code the varying transfer rate of user information (speech or data) in the transmitter by using a spreading waveform which is selected according to the transfer rate being employed at any one time. In the receiver, it is detected at which spreading waveform the signal is present, and the transfer rate used will be identified accordingly.
  • Multiple access methods enable a simultaneous access for a multitude of users to the frequency spectrum with minimum disturbance to one another.
  • FDMA frequency division multiple access method
  • each user has a dedicated frequency channel, which is a relatively narrow frequency band on which the transmit power of the user's signals is concentrated.
  • TDMA time division multiple access method
  • the channel consists of a time slot within a sequence of several time slots forming a frame. The energy of a user's signal is limited to one of these time slots.
  • FDMA, TDMA or FDMA/TDMA mobile communication systems may employ frequency hopping (FH) or time hopping (TH) to spread a user's signal in frequency or time domain.
  • Frequency hopping utilizes a wider spectrum by changing the carrier frequency (frequency channel) of the transmit signal sequentially.
  • the time hopping method changes the time slot (channel) of the transmit signal sequentially. This channel changing is referred to as "hopping", and the channels and their sequence within one hopping cycle as a hopping pattern.
  • Frequency or time hopping can be employed in the transmitter to code the transfer rate according to the invention.
  • different time or frequency hopping patterns are allocated to different transfer rates, which can be selected during a call. Mapping (determined co-dependence) between the hopping patterns and transfer rates is known by both the transmitter and the receiver.
  • the hopping pattern used at any one time is selected in the transmitter according to the transfer rate.
  • it is detected at which hopping pattern the signal is present, and on the basis of the detected hopping pattern a respective transfer rate is identified. Following this, the received user signal is detected and further processed by using said identified transfer rate.
  • carrier waves or their combinations used by the transmitter at any one time are selected according to the transfer rate. Mapping between different transfer rates and carriers, or their combinations, is known by both the transmitter and the receiver.
  • the receiver detects at which carrier waves or their combinations the signal is present and on the basis of this identifies the transfer rate. Following this, the receiver detects and processes the user signal further at this transfer rate.
  • each user is provided with a dedicated pseudo-random binary sequence, which is referred to as a spreading sequence.
  • the user signal and carrier are modulated by the spreading sequence, resulting in a spread spectrum of the modulated waveform.
  • These signals are identified in the receiver by using a correlator which combines the energy of a specific binary sequence and reproduces its original spectrum.
  • the spreading code in the transmitter can be selected according to the transfer rate.
  • the different transfer rates of individual users can be distinguished from one another by means of methods similar to those being used to distinguish different users from one another.
  • the multiple access methods described above are characterized in that there is a higher number of proper spreading waveforms available than the interference limitations of the system allow there to be simultaneous users. By means of these "extra" spreading waveforms, the “multiple access” can be extended to cover different transfer rates of one subscriber also. However, it must be noted that this does not exclude the alternative that the actual multiple access is provided in the mobile communication system with a different method than the transfer rate coding according to the present invention. An example of the invention will be described below in connection with Figures 3, 4 and 5.
  • CDMA code division multiple access
  • FIG. 1 is block diagram illustrating the principle of a CDMA transmitter in which a spreading code is selected according to the transfer rate being used at any one time and which is not part of the present invention.
  • the user signal 1 i.e. speech or data
  • a spreading code generator 5 in a mixer 2.
  • the spreading code spreads the user signal, producing a spread spectrum signal which is modulated in a transmitter 3 to a carrier frequency F1, generated by an oscillator 6, and which is transmitted to the radio path via an antenna 7.
  • the user signal transfer. rate of the data source 1 may vary rapidly during a call, obtaining two or more different values.
  • a dedicated spreading code is allocated to each of the different transfer rates.
  • control unit 4 selects, according to the transfer rate employed by the data source; a corresponding spreading code which the spreading code generator 5 generates for the mixer 2.
  • the transmitter of Figure 1 transmits to the radio path a spread spectrum signal whose spreading waveform depends on the transfer rate.
  • FIG. 2 shows a block diagram illustrating the principle of a CDMA receiver in which the transfer rate can be detected according to the spreading waveform of the received spread spectrum signal and which is not part of the present invention.
  • the spread spectrum signal received at an antenna 20 is demodulated in a receiver 21 to a baseband frequency by means of the carrier frequency F1 generated by an RF oscillator 22.
  • the baseband spread spectrum signal 23 is fed to correlators 24 1 ...24 N .
  • This receiver comprises a separate correlator 24 for every allowed spreading code. For example, if the number N of allowed transfer rates is 3, the number N of spreading codes and correlators 24 is 3 as well.
  • Each correlator 24 1 ...24 N comprises a mixer 25 and a spreading code generator 26.
  • the mixer 25 mixes the signal 23 with the spreading code whereby the user signal is available at the output of that correlator 24 whose spreading code corresponds with the spreading code employed by the transmitter.
  • a detector 27 for example a signal output level detector, detects which detector 24 has the user signal at its output.
  • the detector 27 there is information stored on the mapping between the spreading codes and transfer rates employed by the transmitter as well as the spreading codes of the correlator 24 1 ...24 N . On the basis of these pieces of information, the detector 27 identifies the transfer rate employed by the transmitter and provides a further processing unit 28 with information on which transfer rate and the output signal of which correlator 24 the further processing unit is to use.
  • the transmitter employs a spreading code 1
  • the user signal is present at the output of the correlator 24 1
  • the detector 27 controls the further processing unit 28 to process the output signal of the correlator 24 1 and to use a transfer rate corresponding with the spreading code 1.
  • the functions determined for the further processing unit 28 may include, for example, deinterleaving, channel decoding, error correction, etc.
  • further processing 28 may be understood to refer to all the receiver circuits and functions which require an actual user signal or information on the transfer rate being used. Other functions like this may, for example, include closed loop power control and multiple access interference cancellation.
  • the user signal is present at the output of the correct correlator 24 1 ...24 N after reception of only a few symbols, which means that the transfer rate can be detected immediately. Hence, it is possible to start detecting the user signal after a relatively short delay, compared to using a separate signalling channel. If necessary, it is possible to employ buffering at the input of the further processing unit 28 to compensate the delay required for the detection of the transfer rate.
  • Figures 3, 4 and 5 describe an embodiment of the invention, by which a simpler and more economical implementation of a receiver can be achieved in a CDMA system.
  • the user signal is fed from a data source 31 to a multiplier 39, in which it is multiplied by a Rademacher waveform generated by a Rademacher generator 38.

  • a spread spectrum signal thus provided is modulated in a transmitter 33 to a carrier frequency F1 generated by an RF oscillator 36, and transmitted to the radio path via an antenna 37.
  • the transfer rate of the user signal from the data source 31 may be changed rapidly during a call.
  • the transfer rates allowed for a user signal are 1R, 2R, 4R..., R being the basic transfer rate.
  • a dedicated Rademacher waveform is allocated for shaping the user signal in the multiplier 39.
  • a Rademacher waveform having a frequency twice the respective transfer rate is allocated to each transfer rate.
  • Information on the mapping between the transfer rates and the Rademacher waveforms is maintained by a control unit 34.
  • the control unit 34 monitors the transfer rate of the data source 31, and when the transfer rate changes the unit causes the Rademacher generator 38 to produce a Rademacher waveform allocated to the new transfer rate.
  • the transmitter sends a spread spectrum signal to the radio path, the Rademacher waveform of the signal indicating the transfer rate employed.
  • a radio frequency signal received by an antenna 40 is demodulated to baseband in a reception unit 41 by an oscillator signal F1 from a local oscillator 42.
  • the baseband spread spectrum signal is applied to a mixer 44 in which the spreading code is mixed with a spreading code generated by a generator 43, whereby the resulting output signal will be the user signal originally transmitted and processed with a Rademacher waveform.
  • the output signal of the mixer 44 is sampled at a sampling rate which is twice the highest allowed transfer rate (i.e. of the frequency of the Rademacher waveform).
  • the half symbols having the highest transfer rate are outputted by the sampling unit 45 to a rate detector 46 and a buffer memory 47.
  • the half symbols are buffered until the rate detection is completed.
  • the transfer rate is detected by restoring the symbols corresponding with the allowed transfer rates. This takes place by correlating the half symbols received from the sampling unit 45 in correlators 460 1 -460 N .
  • the number N of correlators corresponds with the number of different transfer rates and Rademacher waveforms.
  • the samples are correlated with the first Rademacher waveform.

Mapping between different transfer rates and the Rademacher waveforms, used by the transmitter, is stored in the memory of the control unit 461.
  • the control unit 460 provides information on the correct Rademacher code to the Rademacher generator 49, and information on the transfer rate to a further processing unit 50.
